Writing a Script

Writing a Script

Although scripting is programming, it's much easier to pick up than most other programming languages because it uses “natural language” commands. Nevertheless, it still may take you a while to start to understand the concepts. I know it's a cop-out, but there's neither time nor space truly to teach you how to program here.

What I can do here is give you a pretty solid foundation on which to build your scripting knowledge. Then you can go off, look through the scripts I've included in this appendix and on the Web, and try your own.
